Evolution of Severe Closed Head Injury: Assessing Ventricular Volume and Behavioral Measures at 30 and 90 Days Post-Injury

Serena Campana, Luca Cecchetti, Martina Venturi, Francesco Buemi et autres

Background: Assessing functional outcomes in Severe Closed Head Injury (SCHI) is complex due to brain parenchymal changes. This study examines the Ventricles to Intracranial Volume Ratio (VBR) as a metric for these changes and its correlation with behavioral scales. Methods: Thirty-one SCHI …

The cerebellum monitors errors and entrains executive networks

P. André, N. Cantore, L. Lucibello, Pierluigi Migliaccio et autres

Frontal midline θ (Fmθ) activity occurs in medial prefrontal cortices (mPFC), when expected and actual outcomes conflict. Cerebellar forward models could inform the mPFC about this mismatch. To verify this hypothesis we correlated the mPFC activation during a visuomotor tracking task (VM) …

Pointing in cervical dystonia patients

Maria Paola Tramonti Fantozzi, Roberta Benedetti, Alessandra Crecchi, Lucia Briscese et autres

Introduction: The normal hemispheric balance can be altered by the asymmetric sensorimotor signal elicited by Cervical Dystonia (CD), leading to motor and cognitive deficits. Methods: Directional errors, peak velocities, movement and reaction times of pointing towards out-of-reach targets in the horizontal plane …

Effect of the Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation on Auditory Event-Related Potentials

Maria Paola Tramonti Fantozzi, Fiorenzo Artoni, Marco Di Galante, Lucia Briscese et autres

Trigeminal sensorimotor activity stimulates arousal and cognitive performance, likely through activation of the locus coeruleus (LC). In this study we investigated, in normal subjects, the effects of bilateral trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) on the LC-dependent P300 wave, elicited by an acoustic oddball …

Hypnotizability-Related Effects of Pain Expectation on the Later Modulation of Cortical Connectivity

Seyedeh-Parisa Zarei, Lucia Briscese, Simone Capitani, Bruno Rossi et autres

This study examined hypnotizability-related modulation of the cortical network following expected and nonexpected nociceptive stimulation. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded in 9 high (highs) and 8 low (lows) hypnotizable participants receiving nociceptive stimulation with (W1) and without (noW) a visual warning preceding …

A Case of Carbon Monoxide-Induced Delayed Neurological Sequelae Successfully Treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, N-Acetylcysteine, and Glucocorticoids: Clinical and Neuroimaging Follow-Up

Vincenzo Spina, Francesco Tomaiuolo, Lorenzo Celli, Luca Bonfiglio et autres

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a leading cause of intentional and unintentional poisoning worldwide, associated with mortality and severe morbidity. Some survivors of CO poisoning develop, after a lucid interval, a potentially permanent encephalopathy in the form of cognitive impairment and movement …

A New Standardization of the Bells Test: An Italian Multi-Center Normative Study

Mauro Mancuso, Alessio Damora, Laura Abbruzzese, Eduardo Navarrete et autres

Objective: The Bells Test is a cancellation task that is widely used for the diagnosis of unilateral spatial neglect (USN). With the aim of fostering more reliable use of this instrument, we set out to develop new norms adjusted for the possible …

A Multi-Centric Observational Study on Heterotopic Ossification in Severely Brain-Injured Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: Preliminary Data

Orsola Masotta, Angelo Pascarella, Loreto, Luigi Trojano et autres

Aims: to identify occurrence of neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) in patients with prolonged disorder of consciousness (DoC) and possible risk factors. \nDesign: Multi-center observational study. \nSetting: twenty-three intensive neurorehabilitation units. \nSubjects: two hundred and seventy-eight patients with prolonged disorder of consciousness (DoC; …

Objective and automatic classification of Parkinson disease with Leap Motion controller

Abdul Haleem Butt, Erika Rovini, Cristina Dolciotti, Gianluca De Petris et autres

BACKGROUND: The main objective of this paper is to develop and test the ability of the Leap Motion controller (LMC) to assess the motor dysfunction in patients with Parkinson disease (PwPD) based on the MDS-UPDRSIII exercises. Four exercises (thumb forefinger tapping, hand …
